First hack: SGW

EDIT: I have eliminated the sprites and changed the storyline.
DOUBLE EDIT: New sub-map, much better then the first one
My hack has a custom map and events, and 5 levels and exits so far
Screen shots:



My sub-map "Randomized Garden"



Level 1's first underground area



No floating munchers



My hardest underground area



Part of my ghost house



Beginning of level 4



A little trap



level 5's bonus area


My new ips patch:

THIS IS THE BEST DEMO I GOT SO FAR

Try to find the glitched sorite in the level to win? That's a big no no. Read the tips: Don't used glitched graphics. No excuses.

no, you guess the sprite FOR FUN, it's usually in plain view

How is finding a computer error fun?

UGH! listen, I put 1 glitched sprite in each, you don't need to guess it, it's FOR FUN!

Glitched sprites are not fun. Glitched sprites are ugly and annoying.

You know what? If you want to continue on with this hack, fine. But I know that the moderaters won't accept the hack to SMWC because of the glitched sprites.

They are if you misuse them over and over

Don't use them. Ever. Ever ever. Ever ever ever. Even if it is "for fun" it still sucks.

Straying away from the glitchy sprite business (I'm not gonna comment)The level design doesn't seem to be the Kaizo-Type, and looking from your screens, it seems to be pretty well thought out, I look forward to seeing how the rest of it may go.

Thanks, I'm geetin rid of the glitchy sprites after thkin about

I kind of understand the concept you wanted to do by making a "glitchy" sprite.
My only suggestion of keeping that concept without breaking the rules is to learn ExGFX and replace the original sprite gfx with your own whacky animations.

Your layout has been removed.

Nope. (That's the worst plot ever, btw)

New ips patch is up

Glitched Sprites are a HUGE No-No. Even if they are important to the plot. Like, I could say termites ate the land for a level with broken/cut land, and it would still be ugly and unacceptable. Same thing for glitched sprites. No offense, I like the idea that you have to guess what certain sprites are, but I don't like the idea that they are glitched. Maybe you could have ExGFX files for the sprite graphics. "Enemies in Disguise", maybe. Anything could work, just as long as it's not glitchy. Think outside the box.

Trust me, if you can make your hack unique and fun, while functioning without error, you've got a good hack. If you're new to SMW hacking, I recommend you read the stickied threads, play some featured hacks, and most importantly, read the FAQ. If you read those, you might get an Idea of what people like in hacks.

You don't have to take my suggestions, you have the freedom to do whatever you want with your hack, I'm just saying, we do have certain standards here. I mean, we don't want to have 500 hacks on the site, with only a handful of them worth playing.

Just so you know, I didn't actually play the hack. Sorry.

My new ips doesn't... CRAP I FORGOT TO FIX THE INRTO!! D8

Glitched goal sphere, is that an exception?
"Please find my shiny, green fish baby?"

I'm a dirty heathen. Anyone have a Christian baby for me to eat?

What about that bit in one of the Mario Infinities where you 'fall' so far in the sky that everything becomes glitched, like a parody of what happens if you make your level too tall. I though that was pretty nifty, and it looks really odd, except it was a good 'odd', and it worked in context.

It looks good, but try to don't abuse in the decoration in the oveworld.Too many thinks there are annoyng.
